The American Village

The Premiere Place to celebrate weddings
and other special events!


Searching for a one-of-a-kind setting for a memorable wedding? The premiere place is right here. The Lucille Ryals Thompson Colonial Chapel provides the perfect setting for that special day. Reminiscent of the lovely Chapels of early times in America, this consecrated colonial chapel offers a unique setting that will set your wedding apart. The building is inspired by one of America's oldest churches, Bruton Parish Church of Williamsburg, Virginia. Its many impressive features include a 100-foot tall steeple and a combination of both arched and round windows. Its beautiful antique wooden pulpit imported from a church in England is one of the many features you and your guests will long remember.

Receptions may be held in either of two unique settings within just a three minute walk. Those wanting an American setting will likely choose the old-fashioned and beautifully restored barn. It features exposed beams and pine hewn walls. Others may wish to use the classically elegant Liberty Hall. Its exterior is inspired by Thomas Jefferson's beloved Monticello. Its creme-colored interior is patterned after The East Room of The White House and features fluted pilasters and cut-glass chandeliers.

Multiple outdoor sites are available for your wedding party to experience. Walk through flower gardens in the springtime or take photos along the arched wooden Concord Bridge which spans a one and one-half acre lake. Other historically inspired buildings are available for bridal teas, luncheons, and rehearsal dinners.

Our personalized service and attention to details create a relaxed atmosphere for brides on their big day. Our goal is to create a highly memorable experience!
